Absence Made the Heart Grow Fonder

The week we were in Greece with Katya certainly wasn't 100% bicker-free between the girls, but this night half-way through was particularly nice... They really had so much fun together. Talia didn't want to join the camp activities during the day since she reveled in every single moment with her dad, but she participated at night if Katya joined her.

It's so wonderful when siblings of either sex truly love and enjoy each other. Growing up I would've been lost without my sister and it seems like that's even more true now that we're grown. I hope Katya and Natalia stay close and get even closer as they mature. Having a beloved sister in your life is truly a blessing.

About Me

Married mom to two girls navigating the unexpected twists and turns of life in this impressive and sometimes daunting city. We're finishing up our ninth year of living here, and the city has changed so much during this time! I taught French and Spanish back in the USA and now I'm the Head of Foreign Languages in a Russian private school. We initially came here for my husband's job—but now he'll be transferring to London in September 2013. My job & volunteer position at the Sochi Olympics—and the girls' schooling—will keep us in Moscow for one more year until we join him there next summer.
